Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM)

​What is Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM)?

Planned preventative maintenance is a form of scheduled or planned maintenance that is carried out on a piece of equipment or machinery on a regular basis. Planned preventative maintenance is used to reduce machine downtime, keep the performance of the machine level high and prevent issues from occurring. PPMs are incorporated into machine service plans to prevent high levels of reactive maintenance, instead, a good PPM program can turn reactive work into a predictive and proactive strategy.

PPMs can help to maximize and maintain the value of a piece of machinery or asset by maintaining it to a high level. A good PPM plan will identify known faults and failures and put in checks to identify these before they actually happen. By doing this you can reduce machinery or asset downtime, improve the performance of a machine, process or asset and maintain a machine to perform in full working order for as long as possible.
